36 CSOs Rally Nigerians To Join Protest Against Hunger And High Cost Of Living


Thirty-six civil society organisations (CSOs) have urged citizens to participate in the planned protest against hunger. This is contained in a statement by the organisations.

They urged the Nigerian Judiciary and the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) to uphold the rights of all protesters and establish a mechanism to address and dismiss oppressive charges that may arise from these protests.

The group said: “The demands include reducing the cost of living, curbing insecurity, reducing the cost of governance, electoral reform, judicial reform, and constitutional reform, which are all recurring themes in Nigeria’s journey towards a healthy democracy.

“We reaffirm our commitment to the principles of democracy and human rights and stand in solidarity with those who decided to exercise the right to peaceful protest. “We call on all stakeholders to uphold the principles of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.”
